## Description

the algorithm wants your whole evening. bloc is where you say no. block the apps, and to unlock them you walk to the fridge and tap. join the bloc.

Bloc blocks your distracting apps so you can focus on what matters.

Start a focus session and Bloc shields the apps you choose at the OS level. No willpower needed — the apps are simply unavailable until your session ends.

Want to quit early? You'll have to earn it. Bloc's friction challenges make you shake your phone, type a commitment phrase, or scan your physical NFC tag before you can unlock. It's the barrier between you and your impulses.

How it works:

Pick the apps you want to block
Set your focus duration (5 min to 4 hours)
Tap to start — your apps are instantly shielded
Stay focused or complete a friction challenge to end early
Features:

Real OS-level app blocking (not just a timer or reminder)
Friction challenges: Shake, Type, Sing, or go Upside Down to unlock early
NFC tag support: Pair a physical tag to start/stop sessions by tapping
Scheduled sessions: Automate daily focus blocks (e.g., every weekday 9-5)
Live Activity: See your remaining time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
Streak tracking: Build consistency with daily focus streaks
Activity dashboard: Track your focus minutes, sessions, and weekly trends
Beautiful dark-first design with multiple themes
Bloc uses Apple's Screen Time APIs to block apps at the system level. You choose which apps to block — Bloc never monitors your usage or shares your data.

Your focus is yours. Bloc just helps you protect it.
